The session was marked by candid discussions, with both batters and bowlers sharing their perspectives.
Batters admit mistakes in previous game.
According to team sources, Pakistan’s batters accepted responsibility for their failure in the earlier match. They acknowledged the need to rotate the strike more effectively and avoid building pressure in tough conditions. Each player was given the chance to express his views during the meeting, making the session a platform for honest self-assessment.
Bowlers highlight tough playing conditions While the batters admitted their shortcomings, the bowlers shared their own observations about the pitch and conditions. They emphasized that batting conditions had been difficult, which added to the challenges faced by the team.
Head coach Mike Hesson expressed complete confidence in the players and urged them to stay focused ahead of the high-pressure game against India. Sources confirm that he reassured the team of his support and trust, highlighting that strong performances can help Pakistan bounce back in the tournament.
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s pre-match news conference, scheduled for Saturday ahead of the clash with India, was postponed.
Last Sunday, Suryakumar Yadav’s unbeaten 37-ball 47, Abhishek Sharma’s fiery 13-ball 31 and Kuldeep Yadav’s (3-18) powered India to seven-wicket victory over arch-rivals Pakistan in the 6th match of the Asia Cup at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
